The string with two ends

I have noticed that people in social platforms, this being second life or any other, have the habit of becoming friends with pretty much anyone. We exchange two words, and sometimes not even that and people get instantly friended and some even go to the extent of making a scene when they are removed because quite frankly, you two barely speak.

The friending protocol varies from person to person, my oldest son won’t just go and friend anyone unless he gets to know them really well, which I can respect; I have come to the habit of being picky when adding friends to my list, but truth be told, sometimes if the person I am speaking to happens to have something in common with me, I’ll go ahead and add them.

This wasn’t always so, as a SL deejay, I felt that the more people I added to my list, the larger group of people I’d manage to get to the set, but experience shows you that this isn’t always so and some “friends” will even jump on your IM to ask you not to mass TP them -this is how avatars move in SL by Landmarks or direct teleportation-; this is something that happens to me quite frequently and up until recently, I have respected people’s wishes to be skipped from mass TPs, but then I today I got someone who not only requested to be skipped but added “if only we talked, but all I get are tps”

To that I have an answer, friendship is like a rope or a string… it has two ends… your end and mine, friendship is supposed to be reciprocal -the real one-, if not what’s the point.
